Ingredients:

12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

12 wonton wrappers

1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

Oil for frying (vegetable or peanut oil)

For Serving:

Sweet chili sauce

Spicy mayo (mayonnaise mixed with Sriracha)

Soy sauce with sesame oil

 

Instructions:

1. Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Let them marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the wrappers.

2. Wrap each shrimp: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Lay one marinated shrimp diagonally in the center. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Fold the wrapper tightly around the shrimp like a mini egg roll, sealing the edges firmly.

3. Fry to perfection: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan. Once hot (around 350°F or 175°C), fry the wrapped shrimp in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Drain on a paper towel.

4. Serve & dip: Plate them hot and crispy, with dipping sauces on the side—sweet chili for the classic kick, spicy mayo for heat, or soy-sesame for savory depth.

Crispy, juicy, and homemade with heart. Just another flavor-packed moment from deesviral to your kitchen.
